WOL enabled and maybe find a utility to send WOL packet at a scheduled time?

[Rizio]

Thank for reply.
Unfortunatly WOL doesn't always work.
I've try to use it on F2-221 many time but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, I think that depend how nas is powered off, in wich idle state goes off.

Any other ideas?

What exactly do you mean by "without TOS sysop"? Are you referring to non-administrator users or installing a third-party operating system on the F2-425? Only administrator users can set scheduled power on and off in the control panel. If you are referring to other operating systems, there are no restrictions on the device itself.

There is typically a setting in BIOS to perform this function but I don't have that specific device to check.

Hi CursaYang,
without TOS sysop I mean that I install a Linux Fedora 42 sysop on NAS to replace original Terramaster sysop.

If you are referring to other operating systems, there are no restrictions on the device itself.

About this yes, I known that there isn't any restrinctions to change operating system on the F2-425, but I don't know if by changing the operating system I can still turn on the NAS by a scheduled timer

Regarding your inquiry about whether the F2-425 supports scheduled power-on after installing Linux Fedora 42, here is a detailed explanation and recommendation.

The F2-425 is based on the standard x86 architecture, and its scheduled power-on function is driven by the motherboard's hardware RTC (Real-Time Clock) chip, which is not restricted by the operating system. In the Fedora 42 environment, you can directly use the standard Linux utility `rtcwake`.

For example, to set an automatic wake-up 24 hours after shutting down:

Code: Select all

  sudo rtcwake -m off -s 86400

You can also write simple Shell scripts in conjunction with Crontab to implement more complex scheduled power-on and power-off logic.
